With a cease and desist demand, followed by a lawsuit, if it is worth the money you'll incur in doing so. That assumes you have properly and effectively protected your IP and ownership rights in it. If serious, please feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need. .

Yes, you can stop them. As Mr. Nelson has indicated, however, doing so may be very costly. Also, if the infringer is overseas, say in China, it may be impossible to stop the infringement.

it's worth talking to a lawyer to analyze your specific situation.
